marooned, alone,
on
cobwebbed shores,
far from home,
‘home’
is it truly home,
if
jagged feelings slice & shear?
can it ever be ‘home’
when
meagre verse shrieks out for all to hear

The foul odor of scarred flesh.
The reeking decomposition.
Bodies once animated, once so alive,
Now strewn across the moist ground.
The surgical strike.
The pin-point accuracy.
The smartest weapons,
Deployed,
To decimate the bad guys.
Black and brown people,
More often than not,
Pummeled to a pulp,
Black and blue.
While LCD screens miles away,
Surveil and scan for potential targets,
The unknown other.
The evil doers,
As mothers & daughters,
Pick out apples and spinach
In a market-place in the cross-hairs.

Black Lives Are Cheap …
we’ve seen it all so many times before
you see, the truth is at its very core,
that,
black people are subhuman,
not perhaps animals,
because we treat our pets better than we treat those fucking niggers,
oh have I offended you by ignoring your politically fucking correct ‘n’ word?
well I don’t care,
because the truth stinks much much more,
the truth stinks like a massive fucking shitheap,
because the truth is,
black lives are cheap!
we’ve seen it all before, and that’s something they just don’t get,
we remember, you see, we fucking remember!
Mozambique
Chile
Vietnam
South Africa
The United States of America
Palestine,
Iraq
El Salvador
Angola
Afghanistan
Laos
The United Kingdom
Burma
Grenada
Namibia
Hiroshima
Nagasaki
Cape Town Ferguson Gaza Johannesburg Ramallah New York City London Kabul Washington D.C Jenin Tel Aviv Santiago Bulawayo Kinshasa Lumumbashi Harlem Soweto Gugulethu Mamelodi Khayelitsha Chatsworth Eldorado Park Sebokeng Lenasia Mannenberg Alexandra Township Favellas Shanty Towns Slums Informal Settlements Squatter Camps Chawls Guantanamo Bay South Central Los Angeles
we remember that our brothers & our sisters everywhere
whose hues and shades and rainbow colours
make us your number one suspect,
the rapist criminal lazy drunken hand-me-down wanting creep,
yes all of that and more
because goddammit black lives are fucking cheap!
CAN you EVEN BEGIN to understand the REASONS why We, The People, are so fucking pissed off?
Are you even human enough to acknowledge THE FACTS,
Are you capable of thinking just one more level deep?
And perhaps then you will know why,
We, The Peoples’,
us niggers,
lives are so cheap!
Torture IS Terror…
1.
we’ve seen barbarity of ISIL
we’ve seen the orange jumpsuits
we’ve seen the savagery of beheading a human-being
we’ve seen aircraft filled with people used as missiles
we’ve seen the brutality of the Taliban
of Boko-Haram
Lashkar-e-Toiba
Abu-Sayyaf
AQAP
AQIM
brutal cowards who
rape
kill
maim
behead
we’ve seen so much
2.
we’ve seen the “black-hole” that is Guantanamo
conveniently off-shore in the land of Cuba
we’ve seen the orange jumpsuits
we’ve heard of barbaric water-boarding
we’ve heard of Black-Sites dotted around the globe
we’ve seen the drone strikes remotely controlled like the latest X-Box
we’ve witnessed the razing of homes by the IDF
we’ve seen the invasion of countries
the descent into chaos of entire nations
we’ve seen too much
You cannot fight Terror with Terror!
Torture IS Terror!

& still
We The People,
are kicked down?
& STILL we forgive?
centuries of conquest colonisation rape pillage plunder forced religious conversions or what’s probably worse using economics to attract your flock that you lead to slavery and slaughter?
&
STILL
WE’RE the uncivilised ones?
only the ignorance that racism spawns can breed such racist bigotry!
racism stunts the fucking mind!
no thinking human with quarter of a brain and half of a heart would fall for such drivel unless those fungal bigoted minds feed on hate and on #Apartheitude

against a MOTHER who has just lost her baby boy.

racism stalks streets,
flowing with blood,
red blood.
not black, white, saffron, green, yellow,
but,
red blood,
like the colourless tears that stream,
down faces of all hues,
&
of every shade,
human beings all,
just humans,
who into dust or ashes do fade.
racism on the prowl,
deafening,
virulent ignorance,
embraced by those who hate,
seeping out of diseased tongues that bray & howl,
while,
humanitys’ corpse,
lies in state.
racism is binary,
soul-less,
with just a single choice to make,
so think carefully now, o’ patient reader,
cos’ racism is binary,
soul-less,
& there is only one choice that is right …
… the dazzling fusion of a rainbow,
or dull,
bland,
empty white.

there’s always hope, I suppose,
so I still cling onto it,
a wishful hope perhaps,
that there will come a day,
when,
those who profess to believe in a higher being,
an almighty, or many,
will listen to what the tenets of the myriad creeds of the ‘almighties’ to whom they pray each day,
say.
Yup, a vain hope it may be indeed,
that these holier-than-thou ‘believers’ would,
or could,
for maybe just a little while,
shut the hell up?
and actually listen,
to those humane tenets that we are told are present in every creed,
and maybe then,
if they shut the heavens up for a bit longer,
they may actually,
really,
for once,
to all those glorious words,
pay some heed.
Ps: I mean if one claims to be a ‘fundamentalist’, it follows that its obligatory to follow the ‘fundamentals’, erm like let’s take this really, really ancient one as an example:
“Thou Shalt Not Kill”
Yup.
That would be a good start
